Music
Welcome! Here you’ll find music I’ve composed and produced for game projects, entirely created by me on a virtual keyboard in Logic Pro, no pre-made samples involved. Each track is designed to set a scene, tell a story, or just sound really cool. I enjoy experimenting with mood, atmosphere, and instrumentation to support gameplay and storytelling.
(Bonus points if you can guess which track I made while eating pizza.)
